I forget where we left off with the bottles of rum.....94 - I think - oh well sounds like a good place to start!!
94 bottles of rum on the wall, 94 bottles of rum....take one down pass it around......

Is it too early for rum?

Nope, never too early for Rum!!!

 

[dvc deernut]

I KNEW IT I WALKED AWAY FROM MY COMPUTER AND YOU SNUCK IN AT 99 POSTS BACK TO 99 BOTTLES OF RUM ON THE WALL!!! TAKE ONE DOWN AND FILL UP MY GLASS 98 BOTTLES OF RUM ON THE WALL
MARSHA THANKS FOR REMINDING ME ABOUT SUNDAY AND BOOKING EXCURSIONS. WE PROBABLY WILL TRY FOR PALOS AT BRUNCH. WE HAVE DONE MOST OF THE EXCURSIONS, WE WILL BE AT OUR USUAL SPOT ON SERENITY BAY BOTH DAYS. DONT TELL ANYONE ABOUT SERENITY BAY IT MIGHT GET CROWDED SHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

SEEEEEEE, HOW NICE AND QUIET IT IS!!!!! USUALLY LAURA(dw) RUNS OVER TAKES THE TRAM AND GETS A SPOT UNDER UMBRELLA WHILE I GET IN THE GROUP PHOTO

LAST TIME WE CRUISED I WENT ON THE SEADOO EXCURSION THAT WAS COOL, YOU GO OUT PAST THE SHIP AND OUT TO LOOK AT MARINE LIFE BELOW WATER, ONCE YOU STOP AND LOOK BELOW YOUR SEADOO. BUT DONT FALL OFF THEN WE WENT OUT TO A SAND BAR WAYYYYYYY OUT AND GOT OFF. THE WATER WAS ABOUT foot DEEP. THEY EXPLAIN HOW BAHAMAS WAS FORMED. YOU GO IN SINGLE FILE BUT IF YOU WANT TO GO FASTER YOU HOLD YOUR HAND UP TO PASS AND THE GUIDE WATCHES SO YOU DONT GET WITHIN 50 FEET OF ANOTHER RIDER. YOU CAN GO REALLY FAST I DID, BUT I HIT A WAKE AND WENT ABOUT 5 FEET UP IN THE AIR AND LANDED SITTING ON MY SEADOO WHOA MY BACK WAS KILLING ME. BUT IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.
WELL BACK OUTSIDE I GO TO DO YARD WORK AND PADDLE AROUND POOL WITH MY COOLER!!!!

Nikki - way to go on the and

I didn't have time to get online this morning. Had to get DS to take a shower before school this morning. He refused to take one last night and let's just say he would have lost some friends if I let him go to school without showering.

We're going to book Palo brunch, Parasailing, and maybe jet ski's. Can't wait to be able to call and get them booked!!!

Hope everyone is having a good week so far. We're off to DS's school Ice Cream Social. YUM!! I'm walking so that I can burn off some of the calories I'll be eating. It's time to REALLY start counting calories and getting serious about exercising....otherwise the bathing suit will not be finding it's way into the suitcase come September!

Bob says thanks for the birthday wishes. He is the big 50 today!

Congrats to you guys for getting the and . I'm just not having any luck with that this time. Oh, well. It is still fun.

Not sure if we are going to book any excursions this time. We tried for the jet ski one last year but it got cancelled due to the weather. We have done parasailing before and I loved it! If you have never done that before I highly recommend it. And we are going to skip Palo this year. Last year we ate there three times during the cruise, one was the dinner we booked, one was the brunch we booked and the third was when we added more points we were treated to a dinner with Bill Farmer - the voice of Goofy. Wow, that was a lot. Ok, no flames please, but we really didn't care for the brunch. We much preferred the dinners. And I really want to enjoy my girls at dinner. It is fun to go to the dining rooms with them. And I want to enjoy them as much as I can since our oldest will be graduating from high school next May and who knows what the future will hold for her.

Gotta take the youngest to dance. Have a great night.

I think we might try for parasailing and Palo brunch too. I hear ya on the calorie counting. It's crunch time for me (literally). DH and I are playing tether ball regularly (ow, ow, ow, everything hurts). I am trying to watch what I eat... but there's no satisfaction in watching my food. I love eating it so much more

No flames here. I really enjoyed the Palo brunch though. I love seafood and DH liked the entrees.

I hope you get your air conditioner fixed. My air conditioner was broken too. It was blowing nothing but hot air but finally it was fixed on Monday.

FIRST A HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO BOB!!!!! AND A HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS. YOUR BIRTHDAYS ARE SO CLOSE. SO IF YOU FORGET BOBS DOES THAT MEAN HE CAN FORGET YOURS
TO ANSWER PART OF THE GLASS BOTTOM BOAT QUESTION, WE DID IT ONCE. YOU GO OUT PAST THE BARRIER THEN THEY STOP AND EXPLAIN THINGS. YOU CAN SEE THE REEFS FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE BOAT. THE GUIDE BRINGS OUT A BIG CAN OF OATMEAL AND POURS IT IN THE WATER. ITS LIKE A SEA OF YELLOW PIHRANA. THEN YOU COME BACK IN. I GUESS ITS ONE OF THOSE EXCURSIONS TO DO ONCE. ID RATHER GO SEADOOING, I THINK THEY STILL HAVE THE KAYAKING.

HMMMMM I WONDER IF I BROUGHT A SMALL BOX OF OATMEAL AND STAND OUT IN THE WATER AND SPRINKLE THE OATMEAL ALLLLLLLLLL AROUND ME AND WATCH THE FISHIES HAVE A FEEDING FRENZY AROUND ME!!!

IF I FIND THE PHOTO I WILL POST IT OF THE FISH FEEDING ITS COOL.
